Living in the borderland

         E B

I don't feel like a boy, I don't feel like a man

Things like love, like law

The law of the jungle

Are we all animals?



Verse 2

Are we all animals shning our teeth and claws

E B

Stocking up on cannonballs?

Living like nobody knows

                E B    C#m

They can't hold on to love

                 B                   E

And live by the law, the law of the jungle

Outside Your chain link fence

You gotta take what you get

                      A

Just to get what you can
